crippling, "i should probably see a doctor about this" phobia around death

like, it started a few months ago, where i would start having huge panic attacks about dying--like what it feels like to be dying, or to be dead, and i'll just end up in tears

and then, sometimes, i'll spend hours just obsessing over it, just covering every possibility of what happens when i die--or, when doing something mundane, i'll get irrationally angry and think "now i'm x minutes closer to death and there's nothing i can do about it"

i think it's an outgrowth of the panic attacks i used to have a few years ago right before i fell asleep, where i'd become convinced the thoughts i was thinking were the last ones i'd ever experience, and i was 100% certain i would die in my sleep? they seem related.

and the thing is, i'm barely 26, i'm in great health (my last check-up ended with the words "whatever you're doing, keep doing it"), and i even mostly gave up caffeine and alcohol lately. but here i am, just a wreck over this, and i don't know why.

basically fun times.

dying doesn't seem like something to get too worked up about

why, there are people out there who have never died before, not once in all their lives! and today they'll still manage to do it just fine

When I lived in edmonton, there was a bungee jump thing in the west edmonton mall's waterpark.
Basically it was designed so that when you fell, at the lowest point you'd end up going like 3ish feet underwater and then bounce back up.
